This method didn't work for me, but I really appreciate your time in putting this video together. I think I have a newer version of iMovie, so perhaps that's why. I noticed that you got to select the file size whereas I didn't. I still suspected that it was due to a file size issue even though I have 112 GB of free space. I found the place (somewhere new) where you select the export file size and changed it from 4K to 1080P. That did the trick for me, hopefully my comment will help someone else. Have a great day, and thanks, again! (You still get a 'like'. Your tone and cadence inspired me to stay calm and continue digging for the correct answer.)
Thanks a lot. The method he mentioned also didn’t work. But when I tried yours it worked immediately. Thank you so much to both of you for sharing. 🙌🏾 I was finally able to upload my UA-cam video 🙌🏾💃
I was shocked when I saw that he was able to select 360p and that could be useful when you have lower grade footage as at that point having a larger size would be pointless and just be a waste of space!! It seems like they just keep taking features away from iMovie... I remember when you were also able to select full frame, but how you are just stuck with widescreen... As to why you can't also have it saved with the same ratio (Height and width) while still being able to decide how large you want your video file is beyond me, cause you should not have to deal with any black horizontal or vertical lines on live videos/etc if they have a ratio other than full (4 by 3) or the most commonly used widescreen type (16 by 9)...
It worked for me. Don't worry about file size. Just detach the audio. Even better, detach the audio and delete it, as you probably don't need sped up or slowed down audio.
I spent 6 hours watching my 14 minute video keep freezing over and over while trying to export. Found your video and detached audio on the ONE speed change video I had and tried again. It exported in about 2 minutes. You are a hero my friend!
I know this is many years old but i literally have spent a day trying to export my video and could find NOTHING on how to fix it, apple just pretty much said "sucks to suck", but you helped me out a lot so THANK YOU
I have an issue that happens fairly often regardless as to whether or not I do a lot of work on a video (With how much products from Apple costs, you would think that issues would be quite rare). I get timing of the clips and the sound to my liking on the iMovie program, but when I have saved my video creation all of a sudden the sound will be off at parts (The most common issue is the sound being loud to the point of not being properly audible outside of the iMovie program) and at times some of the sounds will be moved a bit so that the timing is noticeably off... All of this makes no sense to be whatsoever... Again, I make the video and everything about it is fine when testing it/playback when it is still in the iMovie program but when saved to my MacbookAir any number/s of the issues mentioned above can happen, so my video may be fine or not... I have tried removing and reinstalling iMovies but it does not solve anything... If you know of any possible workarounds, program extensions or any ways to predict when any of these might happen, it would be greatly appreciated :)@@SupercarRanch
I cannot thank you enough!!! I’ve spent two days trying to export and you made it happen this morning ! You knew how to explain and show! I’m forever grateful thank you so much from “Gardening on the West Fork “ Teresa!!
OMG ... As already mentioned in other comments I spent 3 hours trying to figure out the issue, reading iMovie manual, deleting old events thinking it was the problem, then I did what you said and "DONE" ... my video was explored successfully ! Thanks a bunch for sharing it! 🤗🙏🏻
Thank you so much ! I was wondering why my video was stopping right when it was about to be complete ! I did what you said and it worked ! NEW VIDEO FINALLY UPLOADED lol.
Bro you are a lifesaver!! I’ve been trying to load one video for the last 18 hours! The exporting bar has been at the same place for the past 10 hours. I went back and removed the audio where my videos are sped up it loaded it in five minutes. Thanks for the tip!
Unbelievable it works! Praise God for bringing me to your video, been trying to sort this for days. So my clips which were speeded up or slowed down, didn't even contain any audio, yet I still detached the NON EXISTING audio and it worked! Truly bizarre. Thanks a mill Supercar Ranch. Steven.
THANK YOU! I had a video less than 3 minutes that refused to work and looked exactly the same as your screen in which is stopped 3/4 through, but thanks to your strat I was finally able to export it. For a second, I was worried my iPad gave up because it was from 2015 and I already have trauma from what happened to my last iPad in which it just stopped functioning…
OMGGGG thanks!!! Had to sign in to my youtube account just to comment this!!! I've struggled with this for a week!! I can say that also on the 2020 version of Imovie there is a setting called something like "adjust tone for high speed clips" ... this one needs to be ticked in of you have increased speed in the video. Just FYI!
Thank you. It worked for me. I can't believe Apple hasn't fixed this problem 5 years later. We buy expensive tablets/laptops from them and then a glitch like this car ruin everything.
You have noooooo idea how helpful this is. I spent 3 freakin days‼️‼️‼️‼️ trying to figure out what was wrong with my video. Bless ur heart. Ty sooooooo much‼️‼️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been using iMovie for years and have never run into any issues until just now. I’m about to post my video I was having issues with! You’re a godsend🤩
Gosh! Really?! Thank you for saving my life! I spent 4 days figuring out stuffs as there was numerous aspects to go through and now when finally I got the point and now found Your video, I just wanna say Thank You, Man!
This worked Thankyou man! The only video I could find that’s simple and straightforward. Other channels were suggesting to remove the slow mo or the audio completely.
Yeah I thought the same thing when I was trying to fix the problem last year, so I had to make a new video to explain it better. So glad it helped you!
THANK YOU, Thank You, thank you. I’ve been doing everything on my iPhone and never a problem. I bought a new iPad the other day and done my movie on my iPad and low and behold they won’t export and I have a load of slow down/speed up and I had always detached the audio when doing on my phone but I didn’t detach on my iPad. Now I know. Thank you again.
Thank you so much omg! I almost didn't click on this video because of the date posted, but it still works today. I almost thought I had to give up on a video I've been working on for months. 😄😄😄😄
Thank you so much for this brief tutorial Apple and it’s stupid bugs What I found out is the freeze option was causing conflict in my video. Deleting freeze and reapplying fixed the error and I was able to render my project without any issues
Thanks SO much for this - worked for me. Much appreciated. Just wanted to mention that if you delete the audio you've detached, it seems to revert back onto the clip, so to be safe I didn’t delete the detached audio, just left it hovering, muted underneath!
You are welcome! That’s why I made the video. Others say they fixed it but didn’t really shows exactly what they did so that’s why I wanted to make the video. Thanks
Thankyou so much your actually a life saver, I’ve been waiting all night thx again, I subbed and liked and I’m going to be watching your videos from now on :)
Spent 3 hours with Apple Support and did EVERY troubleshooting suggestion they had and tried some of my own. ZIPPO! Zilch! Was soooo frustrated! You have given me a glimmer of hope! I’ve never encountered this problem until this project. I saw your solution and am going to try it now! If this doesn’t work, I’ll lose my mind!! Wish me luck! Thanks for posting. Fingers crossed 🤞!
Hello I have a different type of a problem when I try to save video it will go to the exporting screen I did not speed up or anything but when it starts iMovie just crashes same happened when I was using Phonto when I try to save image Phonto crashes like iMovie idk if it’s the internet but me ipad was kinda slow rest of the day and charging speed decreased too pls how to fix this
Everyone is having good results but I don’t have any sped up things or anything like that. Just green screens and detached audio from videos. Can you help me?
Do you have any filters on any of the clips? Or videos or sounds overlapping? I’ve seen other things like that also cause a video to not export. If all of the clips are completely unmodified, then I’d recommend trying to duplicate the project front before iMovie home screen
I hope I can help. This happened to me as well a couple months after I made this video. I was puzzled. What I found was that one of my clips I put a filter on the video in iMovie and that somehow screwed it up. I was able to figure that out my going one by one on each clips I "modified" until it let me finally export. Step 1 - clone the project in iMovie to preserve your original project, just in case. Then, look at any clips where you have any sort of modification. Whether that be filter, text, or a music track playing at the same time, etc. Delete elements that are unnecessary and try to export. If none of that works, then it may be the video file itself of one of the clips is corrupt. Then you may need to find which clip and remove it, or duplicate the file of that clip in your Photos on your device, then try to upload it again. If none of that works, and you LOVE the original project, there is one last ditch effort. You can go to iMovie and play the entire project in Theater mode and turn on screen capture on your device and let it capture the entire thing into one large video file. This will work, but may slightly degrade the quality of the video. So, if you have a nice 4K video or something it may not be as perfect. Bottom line is iMovie is easy to use by has a lot of quirks if you throw a complex project at it. I've been using Premier or Rush lately for complex projects. Hope this helps and good luck!
@@SupercarRanch Thanks! This solved my problem! I had also some filters in some of my clips to make those stand out more...but it seems that those also messed all up. Have you tried to mix filters in one movie later?
Hmmm. Do you need the audio? If you changed the speed of the clip but don’t need the audio, I’d recommend detaching then deleting. If that doesn’t work, or you need the audio, do you have anything else going on in your video? Did you add text or a filter? If so you can try to get rid of those if you don’t have to have them. Last shot would be to duplicate the project and try to export the video on the second version.
It still won’t work for me, it keeps freezing on 40% ish a 9:07 long vind with 1 sped up fragment of 2sec ~ I do have some short frozen time fragments should I do the same there? (I’m going crazy) Would love to hear from you, greath video
Yeah try the same thing. Detach audio and if you don’t need it, delete it. If that still doesn’t work, maybe try to fully duplicate the project and see if the new project exports.
I don't have any portions sped up or down. Attempting a share of mini course that's 1 hr and 15 mins. Downloaded once but after an update unable to do so again
Hmmm. Do you have any other different elements in the video, like filters or audio layered over video? If so, one of those things may also cause the same problem.
If the screen is just a part of the raw video file you added to iMovie, then probably not. But if there is any other element (sound, filter, etc) added within iMovie then that might be it. If not then I’d recommend duplicating the project and see if that works. If it doesn’t, then you may need to start from scratch.
Explonesto hmmmmm. Might not be the same issue 😕. If you have not already, try detaching all the audio from every clip in the movie you created, whether speed changed or not. If the audio track is not what’s causing this issue then I’m not sure what it is. Cause I have not come across the yet.
I actually had this happen again on iMovie on my iPad and there was no accelerated video. Couldn’t tell what is was, so I kept deleting elements until it finally exported. Then I took that video and created a new iMovie project, added the same elements back and it exported just fine. That’ll take some work, but give that a shot and you may not need to start all over
It depends on if you still need the audio. Just detaching it should work. But if you don’t need the audio, I’d recommend deleting it just to avoid any other issues with it.
Another solution: If you are using iMove on your internal Mac storage, create a duplicate of your project on your external hard drive (assuming you have one). Export the file and there you have it!
This method didn't work for me, but I really appreciate your time in putting this video together. I think I have a newer version of iMovie, so perhaps that's why. I noticed that you got to select the file size whereas I didn't. I still suspected that it was due to a file size issue even though I have 112 GB of free space.

No you just need to detach it. Then it should export fine.
when you detatch it nothing happens it just allows you to move it around but you can keep it in the same spot and it will be like nothing happened
If you detach and delete the audio, how would you hear what I am saying on the video?
Only delete if you don’t need it. The key is detaching. I just said to delete if you don’t need the audio rather than muting it
Omg thank you u don’t even k ow how much this helps I’ve been having so much trouble with this like thank uou
🙌🤙👍
Thanks so much! This helped a ton, I was working on editing my video and kept having this issue.
Glad it helped you!
How about if the audio im using is on the clip itself? After detaching the audio clip and deleting it,do i have to on the audio on the clip itself?
If you want to keep the audio the clip has, detach it, but do not delete it. That may fix the export problem by itself
Tnx man,this really helps…😊✌️

It sure did 🥲 I thought HOURS of recording and editing were lost but thanks to you I’ll have a video to upload tomorrow. Tyy!!
A living legend! Fixed the issue immediately ❤️ thank you so much man - new blog channel is underway and this was doing my head in 😭
Haha so glad it worked!!
@@SupercarRanch yeah thanks man, I thought my whole project was a loss! Stayed up all night editing it and then the issue arose.. heart wrenching haha
Thanks bro this helped me sooo much I'm so lucky I found this video Thanks man👍🏽😁
Awesome!!!
I dont understand why mine won't export and I have over 300gb of space..I dont understand why its saying I have no storage
It still won’t work for me, it keeps freezing on 40% ish a 9:07 long vind with 1 sped up fragment of 2sec ~
I do have some short frozen time fragments should I do the same there?
(I’m going crazy)
Would love to hear from you, greath video
Yeah try the same thing. Detach audio and if you don’t need it, delete it. If that still doesn’t work, maybe try to fully duplicate the project and see if the new project exports.
As soon as I click export it pops up nothing is working somebody help
What does the popup say? Unable to Export?
@@SupercarRanch yes been on UA-cam all night and day
I don't have any portions sped up or down. Attempting a share of mini course that's 1 hr and 15 mins. Downloaded once but after an update unable to do so again
Hmmmm. I wonder if that is due to space on your device?? I know with updates that happens sometimes
Thank the lord Jesus Christ for this video right here, big thanks
You have been blessed 🙏 😁
What if it’s on freeze? And I don’t have The button Actions
Thank you.. so very helpful..I was getting frustrated
So glad it helped!
Thank youuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saved me sooooo much work deleting all my stuff to try and fix this!!!!
Woohoo!
I’ve added more audio to my movie so it won’t let me detach because it’s already 3 of them:( and I kind of need those audios:(
you literally just saved my upload❤️
This won’t work for me🥺
Hmmm. Do you have any other different elements in the video, like filters or audio layered over video? If so, one of those things may also cause the same problem.
Supercar Ranch hi actually I did have overlapping audio and I managed to fix it I’m ok now however from now on I’ll stick to editing on the laptop 😊
I was super frustrated!!! Thank you soooo much this video was a huge help
Kudos
So glad it helped you
I dont have anything sped up i have pretty much the whole video with greenscreen idk if thats the problem
If the screen is just a part of the raw video file you added to iMovie, then probably not. But if there is any other element (sound, filter, etc) added within iMovie then that might be it. If not then I’d recommend duplicating the project and see if that works. If it doesn’t, then you may need to start from scratch.
One year ago and this method still works thank you ❤️
Yep. I even had to do it again myself a couple weeks ago. I’m surprised Apple hasn’t fixed the bug
Mine stops at 50% and this didn’t work. Please help..
Explonesto hmmmmm. Might not be the same issue 😕. If you have not already, try detaching all the audio from every clip in the movie you created, whether speed changed or not. If the audio track is not what’s causing this issue then I’m not sure what it is. Cause I have not come across the yet.
Explonesto bro same I’m on my Mac and it stops half way 50% all the time I tried everything 🤦🏽♂️
I actually had this happen again on iMovie on my iPad and there was no accelerated video. Couldn’t tell what is was, so I kept deleting elements until it finally exported. Then I took that video and created a new iMovie project, added the same elements back and it exported just fine. That’ll take some work, but give that a shot and you may not need to start all over
Supercar Ranch deleting elements as in videos ?
I tried and am waiting for export to finish ..
YOUR A LIFESAVER!!!! Thanks for the help!
👍👍
Ommmmggggg you’re freaking amazing I’ve had a headache for the past hrs trying to figure wth was going on a huge like for you ‼️
Thank you!
i will detach the speed change and i wont delete the detach? sorry for bad english
It depends on if you still need the audio. Just detaching it should work. But if you don’t need the audio, I’d recommend deleting it just to avoid any other issues with it.
Nothing seems to be working for me. Tried all youtube tricks. Hope to come back with an answer later
So grateful for your help! Thank you!
Yes! So glad I could help
Thank you so much! I had weeks worth of editing in to my project. You saved all that work for me. I can't thank you enough.
Glad I could help!
Another solution:
If you are using iMove on your internal Mac storage, create a duplicate of your project on your external hard drive (assuming you have one). Export the file and there you have it!
Good idea. Yes that should work too
